about

What's not to love about a project inspired by Bach's rare but sacred use of the lute to denote literal blood drops and rainbows in his music? I have my longtime friend Kyle Dawkins to thank for a window into this (under)world, such things being a profound interest of mine. For his part, Kyle was additionally influenced by Hildegard von Bingen, Randy Rhoads, & heavy metal album intros (of course!), weaving a lyrical, highly idiosyncratic blend of classical and folk traditions into the mix. My approach was to highlight these melodic threads in an unobtrusive but dynamic way, adding polyrhythms, microtonality, & a healthy balance of surprise and restraint into the aural proceedings. I created the album cover collage after the first song was complete...I couldn't wait...and thus a visual cairn indicating the way fed the process in ensmallening circles. Kyle and I have a rich history as creative partners; I was delighted to release his album Conasauga in 2002 on the Solponticello label; and it's truly amazing to be breaking new ground with him so far into our future. Thank you as always for listening.

Conasauga
by Kyle Dawkins

One of my favorite albums ever! It beautifully captures the sound and spirit of where we live. I was honored to be the engineer for the session, and it is a highlight in my history as a record mogul. Killick
